[Anders Sandberg]

There is a very talented young man by the name of Anders Sandberg, who wrote a fascinating "food for thought" piece about an alternative shape for the Earth, and how that would affect things...

Thanks for noticing. It was very fun to write and research. Unfortunately I failed at finding climate simulation code that could run in my toroidal geometry. 
Currently I am making a math paper (besides the things I *should* work on, of course) about the statistics of mistyping numbers. Here is a hint: if you randomly change a digit in a number, does it become larger, smaller or stay roughly the same?
